or do you think this was just for his disciples?
'Therefore, as you go, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age."

Yes, but that does not mean send missionaries all over the world to convert Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and Baha'is.
It means spread the message of Jesus - the Gospel - the Good News - that we are eternal beings. That we live forever. That this Earthly existence is just a phase. That we should love and accept one another. That we must care for our neighbors. That we should not be judgemental. That we are all children of God.

If Jesus told the disciples to teach their disciples to obey all that Jesus commanded them, then we must obey the command to spread the gospel because we must obey what jesus commanded his disciples to do.

All of the believers, not just disciples.
there is another verse saying that the gospel will be preached until the end of days until Jesus comes.
Who do you think will be doing that? Disciples? No, His followers.
However, not everyone needs and can be preaching, others will be praying, serve God by doing others things.

Well, the end of the "Age" Jesus was talking about happens to be the year 2012 (The age of Aquarius) Jesus was the Age of Pisces (Sign of the fish), Moses was the Age of Aries (The Ram) and so you'd better preach to, lay hands on, baptize, pray for - everyone you can, because when 2012 gets here, the age is OVER!
Christianity will be through!

I believe in the priesthood of the believer, therefore, I believe that all Jesus's followers received His commandment to spread the gospel and baptize. There are many Christians who disagree with me.

The command is obviously to all of his followers down through the centuries. Even after Armageddon --& then the resurrection-- people will still be being taught what they need to know in order to live according to God's principles, & so never have to die...

All believers are His disciples. A desciple is a student and a student is anyone who is willing to learn from a teacher. Jesus is the ultimate teacher.

well he commanded his diciples first and commanded them to make diciples.meaning his diciples were to do the same like he did with them.
now the followers were also dicipled by his diciples and they did the same and that what we are doing even today.
you become a follower then you get dicipled and then you diciple others.
